--- Comment #13 from Patch <patch.pub...@gmail.com> --- My understanding in most other applications preserve the intra cell line breaks by * Using the more advanced formats where possible eg html or rtf (both to read & write to the clipboard). * Write to the clipboard, quoted special characters if required to preserve linefeeds. (Such as Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets) This also happens transparently between LO applications. LO Calc supports quoted intra-cell line feeds when reading the clipboard LO Calc supports quoted intra-cell line feeds when saving as a CSV file The time intra-cell line feeds are not preserved is when copying from LO calc to an applications which does not support formats other than plan text. So I am not convinced that "more general behavior is unexpected" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
